Methods of Treatment

In some embodiments, the disclosure provides a method for treating a disease or condition in a subject in need thereof, by administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of any of the compositions described herein.

The following describes various utilities of a compound that can inhibit one or more of Fms (CSF-1R or CSF1R), Flt-3 and Kit. Therefore, it is contemplated that Compound I, which inhibits Fms (CSF-1R or CSF1R), Flt-3 and Kit, can be used to treat the following diseases or conditions.

Neurofibromatosis and Osteoporosis

Compound I (PLX3397) prevented bone loss in neurofibromatosis affected mice by reducing osteoclast differentiation and bone resorptive activity in vivo (Yongzheng He et al., c-Fms Signaling Mediates Neurofibromatosis Type-1 Osteoclast Gain-In-Functions, PLOS ONE, November 2012, Volume 7, Issue 11, e46900). Thus, it is contemplated that Compound I can be a potential therapeutic agent for treating neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) associated osteoporosis and osteopenia.

Alzheimer's Disease

It was found that CSF1R inhibits microglial proliferation and prevents the progression of Alzheimer's-like pathology (Adrian Olmos-Alonso et al., Pharmacological targeting of CSF1R inhibits microglial proliferation and prevents the progression of Alzheimer's-like pathology, Brain., 2016: 139; 891-907).

Additionally, efficacy of CSF1R inhibition in models of Alzheimer's disease was demonstrated, and this validated the application of a therapeutic strategy aimed at modifying CSF1R activation as a promising approach to tackle microglial activation and the progression of Alzheimer's disease (Adrian Olmos-Alonso et al., Pharmacological Targeting of CSF1R Inhibits Microglial Proliferation and Prevents the Progression of Alzheimer's-like Pathology, Brain, March 2016, 139(3):891-907).

Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD)

It was reported that PSP and AD disease severity correlated with neuro-inflammation in the regions most closely associated with neuropathological changes characteristic of each disease, and data, together with previous genetic and epidemiological evidence, suggest that immunotherapeutic strategies could be useful in slowing the progression of neurodegenerative disorders like AD and PSP (L. Passamonti et al., [11C]PK11195 PET in Alzheimer's disease and progressive supranuclear palsy: The NIMROD Study, Poster Session, Jun. 28, 2017. See also Han et al. described herein for CSF1R inhibitors useful for treating neuroinflammation.

Epilepsy

The CSF1R blockade was validated in two pre-clinical models of epilepsy using a small molecule inhibitor of CSF1R, demonstrating that the CSF1R blockade can be a novel therapeutic strategy in epilepsy (Prashant K Srivastava et al., A systems-level framework for drug discovery identifies CSF1R as a novel anti-epileptic drug target, May 22, 2017, http://dx.doi.org/10.1101/140087.).

Brain Trauma

CSF1R inhibition by Compound I (PLX3397) effectively depleted microglia, and the depletion of microglia was sustained after intracerebral hemorrhage. It was further reported that the benefit of colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor inhibition by Compound I was associated with reduced leukocyte infiltration in the brain, and this confers protection after intracerebral hemorrhage (Minshu Li et el., Colony stimulating factor 1 receptor inhibition eliminates microglia and attenuates brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage, Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism, 2017, Vol. 37(7) 2383-2395).

Tauopathies

It was reported that the importance of microglia in tau propagation is emphasized by the marked reduction of tau propagation by depletion of microglia by a CSF1R inhibition, which can be accomplished by Compound I (PLX3397) (Hirohide Asai et al., Depletion of microglia and inhibition of exosome synthesis halt tau propagation, Nature Neuroscience, November 2015, Vol. 18, 11).

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer/Lung Cancer

CSF-1R functions as a tumor promoter in non-small-cell carcinoma (NSCLC) by regulation of the activity of Wnt family member 3a (Wnt3a) and accelerating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration, invasion and metastasis. Thus, the CSF-1R protein constitutes a promising therapeutic target to resolve tumor progression and dissemination (Yan Xia Yu et al., CSF-1R regulates non-small cell lung cancer cells dissemination through Wnt3a signaling, Am J Cancer Res., 2017, 7(11): 2144-2156).

Eye Diseases (Anterior and Posterior)

It was reported that microglia can be removed temporarily by a CSF1R inhibitor in order to reduce inflammation, and can be useful as a therapeutic intervention for degenerative or inflammatory disorders of the retina (Wai T. Wong, Science Daily, Mar. 21, 2018, https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/03/180321141403.htm).

Lysosomal Storage Diseases

Neuroinflammation in lysosomal storage diseases is typically elicited as a protective response following CNS injury, infection, or disease, and such inflammation can exert detrimental effects on neural cells. It was further reported that microglia are the principal neuroinflammatory cells in the CNS parenchyma cells (Megan E. Bosch et al., Neuroinflammatory paradigms in lysosomal storage diseases, Frontiers in Neuroscience, Oct. 30 2015, doi: 10.3389/fnins.2015.00417 (Page 2)).

Multiple Sclerosis

Blocking CSF1R can prevent immune cells from promoting the inflammation associated with multiple sclerosis (Andrea Morandi et al., The Colony-Stimulating Factor-1 (CSF-1) Receptor Sustains ERK1/2 Activation and Proliferation in Breast Cancer Cell Lines, Multiple Sclerosis News Today, Oct. 27, 2017, https://multiplesclerosisnewstoday.com/2017/10/27/mspans2017-study-shows-that-inhibiting-protein-in-brain-cells-canrejuvenate-myelin/).

Neuro-Inflammation and Neuroinflammatory Disorders

Microglia depletion and subsequent repopulation at defined stages holds promise for designing strategies to resolve neuroinflammation and promote recovery, and global depletion of microglia followed by repopulation can be accomplished with CSF1R inhibitors (Han et al., An updated assessment of microglia depletion: current concepts and future directions, Molecular Brain, (2017) 10:25 (See Abstract and page 3)).

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

It was reported that neurogenic neuroinflammation may contribute to the multifactorial pathogenesis of complex regional pain syndrome (Littlejohn G., Neurogenic neuroinflammation in fibromyalgia and complex regional pain syndrome, Nat Rev Rheumatol, 2015 November; 11 (11):639-48). See also Han et al. described herein for CSF1R inhibitors useful for treating neuroinflammation.

Dementias

It was also reported that neuroinflammation has been increasingly implicated as a pathological mechanism in dementia, and demonstration that it is a key event accelerating cognitive or functional decline would inform novel therapeutic approaches (Stefaniak J et al., Imaging of neuroinflammation in dementia, J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry, 2016 January; 87(1):21-8). See also Han et al., above for CSF1R inhibitors useful for treating neuroinflammation.

HIV

Chronic microglial activation and associated neuroinflammation are key factors in neurodegenerative diseases, including HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (Audrey C Knight et al., Increased Microglial CSF1R Expression in the SIV/Macaque Model of HIV CNS Disease, 8 Jan. 2018, Journal of Neuropathology & Experimental Neurology, Volume 77, Issue 3, 1 Mar. 2018, Pages 199-206, (See Abstract). See also Han et al. described herein for CSF1R inhibitors useful for depleting microglia.

Cerebral Palsy

It has been reported that there is evidence highlighting a central role for glia in mediating increased risk of disability in premature infants, including excessive activation of microglia (Carina Mallard et al., Astrocytes and microglia in acute cerebral injury underlying cerebral palsy associated with preterm birth, Pediatric Research, 2014, Vol. 75, 1 (See Abstract)) See also Han et al. described herein for CSF1R inhibitors useful for depleting microglia.

Glaucoma

There is clinical evidence for neuroinflammation in glaucoma and neuroinflammation, and neuroinflammation is defined as immune-relevant responses by cell types such as microglia glaucoma (Pete A Williams et al., Neuroinflammation in glaucoma: A new opportunity, Exp Eye Res. 2017 April, 157: 20-27 (See Abstract)). See also Han et al. above for CSF1R inhibitors useful for depleting microglia.

Bladder Cancer, Ovarian Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Pancreatic Cancer, and Colorectal Cancer

It has been shown that CSF-1/CSF-1R was highly expressed in human tumor tissue, such as bladder cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, and pancreatic cancer (Li Huang et al., The possible mechanisms of tumor progression via, CSF-1/CSF-1R pathway activation, Rom J Morphol Embryol, 2014, 55(2 Suppl):501-506 (See page 502)).

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Other Leukemias

It was shown that the expression of FLT3 was high in normal hemopoietic tissues and, in leukemia, FLT3 was specifically upregulated in AML and acute lymphocytic leukemia, indicating that a high expression of FLT3 may contribute to the progression of leukemia (Jie Cheng et al., High expression of FLT3 is a risk factor in leukemia, Molecular Medicine Reports, 2018, 17: 2885-2892 (See Discussion and FIG. 1)).

Breast Cancer

It was reported that the wide expression of the CSF-1/CSF-1R pair across breast cancer cell subtypes supports CSF-1/CSF-1R targeting in breast cancer therapy (Andrea Morandi et al., The Colony-Stimulating Factor-1 (CSF-1) Receptor Sustains ERK1/2 Activation and Proliferation in Breast Cancer Cell Lines, PLOS ONE, November 2011, Vol. 6, 11, e27450 (see Abstract)).

Cholangiocarcinoma

It was shown that that c-kit expression is detectable in biliary tract cancer (cholangiocarcinoma), and chimeric mice injected with c-kit positive human biliary tract cancer cells were treated with the c-kit inhibitor imatinib mesilate resulting in significantly reduced tumor volume and mass (Thomas Kamenzet al., Expression of c-kit receptor in human cholangiocarcinoma and in vivo treatment with imatinib mesilate in chimeric mice, World J Gastroenterol., 2006 Mar. 14; 12(10): 1583-1590 (see Page 1583)).

Endometrial Cancer

It was reported that there was a high level of expression of fms proto-oncogene mRNA in clinically aggressive human endometrial adenocarcinomas (Barry M. Kacinski et al., High level expression of fins proto-oncogene mRNA is observed in clinically aggressive human endometrial adenocarcinomas, International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, November 2011, Vol. 6, 11, e27450)

Esophageal Cancer

It was shown that there were expressions of KIT in the small cell carcinoma component of the esophageal carcinoma (Tadashi Terada et al., Esophageal combined carcinomas: Immunohoistochemical and molecular genetic studies, World J Gastroenterol., 2012 Apr. 7, 18(13): 1545-1551 (See last sentence of Page 1549)).

Glioblastoma, Glioma

It was shown that CSF-1R inhibition blocks malignant progression and regresses established gliomas, and enhances survival in glioblastoma human xenografts (Stephanie M. Pyonteck et al., CSF-1R inhibition alters macrophage polarization and blocks glioma progression, Nat. Med., October 2013, 19(10):1264-1272).

Giant Cell Tumor

It was reported that administration of CSF1R inhibitor RG7155 to patients translated into clinical objective responses in diffuse-type giant cell tumor patients. (Carola H. Ries et al., Targeting Tumor-Associated Macrophages with Anti-CSF-1R Antibody Reveals a Strategy for Cancer Therapy, Cancer Cell, Jun. 16, 2014, 25:846-859).

Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)

A HCC patient study found that peritumoral CSF-1R is associated with intrahepatic metastasis, tumor recurrence, and patient survival after hepatectomy, and CSF-1R may become a potential therapeutic target for postoperative adjuvant treatment (Jin-Bin Jia et al., High Expression of Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor-1 Receptor in Peritumoral Liver Tissue Is Associated with Poor Outcome in Hepatocellular Carcinoma After Curative Resection, The Oncologist 2010; 15:000-000)

Hodgkin Lymphoma

It was reported that administration of Compound I (PLX3397) to a heavily pretreated patient cohort affected by Hodgkin Lymphoma resulted in modest efficacy with a manageable safety profile and with evidence of target inhibition that may warrant further testing in combination therapy trials (Alastair J. King et al., CSF1R Inhibition by PLX3397 in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma: Results From a Phase 2 Single Agent Clinical Trial, Blood, 2012 120:1638 (See Discussion on Page 2)).

Melanoma

It was reported that Compound I (PLX3397) treatment of mouse melanoma models with tumor-specific CD8 T cells strongly promoted the control of tumor outgrowth (Sluijter M et al., Inhibition of CSF-1R Supports T-Cell Mediated Melanoma Therapy, PLOS ONE, 2014, 9(8) (See Page 1)).

Mesothelioma

Data were reported suggesting that CSF-1R signaling may have a critical pathogenic role in mesothelioma, and therefore may represent a promising target for therapeutic intervention (M Cioce et al., Autocrine CSF-1R signaling drives mesothelioma chemoresistance via AKT activation, Cell Death and Disease (2014) 5, e1167; doi:10.1038/cddis.2014.136 (See Page 1)).

Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumors (MPNST) and Plexiform Neurofibroma

Treatment of MPNST xenograft samples with Compound I (PLX3397) resulted in sustained blockade of c-Kit, c-Fms and PDGFRβ, resulting in significant suppression of tumor growth, and that data strongly suggested that PLX3397 is superior to imatinib in the treatment of MPNST (Parag P. Patwardhan et al., Sustained inhibition of receptor tyrosine kinases and macrophage depletion by PLX3397 and rapamycin as a potential new approach for the treatment of MPNSTs, Clin Cancer Res. 2014 Jun. 15; 20(12): 3146-3158 (See Page 1). Further, plexiform neurofibroma is a known precursor legion of MPNST (McCarron K F et al., Plexiform neurofibroma with and without associated malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor: a clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical analysis of 54 cases, Mod Pathol. 1998 July; 11(7):612-7 (See Abstract)).

Salivary Gland Neoplasms

C-kit expression was observed through immunochemical staining in 4 different salivary gland neoplasms, and c-kit expression was found in both benign and malignant forms of salivary gland neoplasms (Salehinejad J et al., Evaluation of c-kit protein (CD117) expression in common salivary gland neoplasms, J Oral Maxillofac Pathol., 2014 May; 18(2):177-82 (See Abstract)).

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor

It was reported that c-kit is the crucial step in tumorigenesis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), and the c-kit inhibitor imatinib can block the activated receptor tyrosine kinase activity of c-kit to result in objective responses in advanced GIST patients (Siehl J et al., C-kit, GIST, and imatinib, Recent Results Cancer Res. 2007; 176:145-51 (See Abstract)).

Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis (PVNS) and Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT)

It was reported that Compound I met its primary endpoint in phase III clinical trials for the treatment of TGCT, wherein the primary endpoint was tumor response measured by tumor size reduction. TGCT is a group of cancers that include pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) and giant cell tumors of the tendon sheath (GCT-TS) (Mark Terry, Daiichi Sankyo's Tumor Drug Meets Primary Endpoint in Late-Stage Study, Oct. 31, 2017, https://www.biospace.com/article/daiichi-sankyos-tumor-drug-meets-primary-endpoint-in-late-stage-study/).

Catatonia, Schizophrenia

Janova et al. demonstrated that the administration of a CSF1R inhibitor alleviated catatonic symptoms in mice in a phenotyped schizophrenic sample (Janova et al., Microglia ablation alleviates myelin-associated catatonic signs in mice, Clin Invest. 2018; 128(2):734-745 (See Abstract)).

Brain Calcification

Daida et al. reported that patients with CSF1R mutations and brain calcification were detected on CT scans. (Daida et al., CSF1R Mutation p.G589R and the Distribution Pattern of Brain Calcification, Intern Med, 56: 2507-2512, 2017).

Retinitis Pigmentosa

Blank et al. stated that inhibiting microglial activation can provide useful approaches to prevent retinal degeneration in retinitis pigmentosa (Blank et al., Early Microglia Activation Precedes Photoreceptor Degeneration in a Mouse Model of CNGB1-Linked Retinitis Pigmentosa, Front. Immunol., 5 Jan. 2018 (See Conclusion on page 9)).

Retinal Microglial Homeostasis

Zhang et al. found that there was complete homeostatic recovery of microglial organization in the retina following microglial ablation using a CSF1R inhibitor in one of the studies (Zhang et al., Repopulating retinal microglia restore endogenous organization and function under CX3CL1-CX3CR1 regulation, Science Advances, 21 Mar. 2018).

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE)

CTE has been defined as a progressive degenerative disease, which afflicts the brain of people who have suffered repeated concussions and traumatic brain injuries, and microglia drives the continuous low-level inflammation associated with the insidious onset of CTE (Donal et al., Microglial Activation in Traumatic Brain Injury, Frontiers in Ageing Neuroscience, June 2017, Volume 9, Article 208 Frontiers in Ageing Neuroscience). Minshu Li et el., described above reported that CSF1R inhibition eliminates microglia and attenuates brain injury.

EXAMPLES

Examples related to the present disclosure are described below. In most cases, alternative techniques can be used. The examples are intended to be illustrative and are not limiting or restrictive to the scope of the disclosure.

Example 1: Compound I

Compound I was synthesized according to the following synthetic procedure:

Step 1: Conversion of Compound 2e to Compound 2f

Commercially available di-tert-butyl (5-formylpyridin-2-yl)imidodicarbonate (Compound 2e), commercially available 5-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine) (Compound 6), (5-Chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine), tetrabutylammonium bisulfate, and anhydrous isopropyl alcohol were added to a dry reactor blanketed with nitrogen. The reaction mixture was cooled to a temperature of 10 to 20° C. for about 3 hours with stirring, or until the solids were dissolved. Potassium tert-pentoxide, 25% in toluene, was added while maintaining an internal temperature of 10 to 20° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at 20 to 25° C. for a minimum of 20 hours. The reaction progress was monitored by analyzing the reaction mixture by HPLC. When compound 2f was no less than 80.0%, the reaction mixture is cooled to an internal temperature of −5 to 5° C. for a minimum of 2 hours. The solids were isolated by filtration, washed with cooled isopropyl alcohol, then dried under vacuum for a minimum of 12 hours until the residual isopropyl alcohol level was less than or equal to 12% w/w.

Step 2: Conversion of Compound 2f to Compound 2h

Compound 2f and acetonitrile under nitrogen were charged to a dry reactor blanketed with nitrogen and the resulting mixture was cooled to 0 to 10° C. with stirring. Triethylsilane and trifluoroacetic acid were added sequentially while maintaining an internal temperature of 0 to 10° C., and the reaction mixture was slowly heated to 55 to 65° C. and maintained at this temperature for about 20 hours. The reaction progress was monitored by analyzing the reaction mixture by HPLC. The product is precipitated by concentrating the volume, adding purified water, and concentrating again. The suspension was stirred for 1 to 3 hours at 45 to 60° C., cooled to 0 to 10° C., filtered, and the resulting solids were washed with purified water. The solids were then washed with n-heptane and dried under vacuum for about 12 hours to give Compound 2h.

Step 3: Conversion of Compound 2h to Compound I

Compound 2h, commercially available Compound F, and acetonitrile were charged to a dry reactor blanketed with nitrogen and the resulting mixture was stirred at a temperature of about 30° C. Trifluoroacetic acid and triethylsilane were added sequentially while maintaining temperature of less than or equal to 30° C., and the reaction mixture was heated to reflux and maintained at this temperature for about 24 hours. The reaction progress was monitored by analyzing the reaction mixture by HPLC. The reaction mixture was worked up by concentrating the volume, adding purified water, and concentrating again. Ethyl acetate was then added, followed by 25% sodium hydroxide solution to raise the pH of the mixture between 8 and 10. The lower aqueous layer was discarded and the upper organic layer was washed with purified water. The product was precipitated by concentrating the volume and adding n-heptane, and the resulting solids were filtered and washed with n-heptane. Ethyl acetate and purified water were added to the solids and the mixture was stirred with heating until completely dissolved. Compound I was crystallized by concentrating the volume and adding n-heptane. The solids are filtered, washed with n-heptane, and dried under vacuum for a minimum of 12 hours until the weight loss is not more than 1%.

Step 4: Conversion of Compound I (Free Base) to Compound I (HCl Salt)

Compound I (free base) and methanol were charged to a dry reactor blanketed with nitrogen and the resulting mixture was stirred. Concentrated hydrochloric acid was added while maintaining a temperature of less than 30° C., and the mixture was stirred at 20 to 30° C. until a clear solution was observed. The solution was filtered through an in-line filter followed by a methanol rinse. Purified water was added to the solution while maintaining a temperature between 28 to 32° C. Seed crystals were added and the mixture was stirred for 1 to 3 hours at 28 to 32° C. Purified water was added to the resultant suspension while maintaining a temperature of 25 to 32° C. The mixture was then cooled to 0 to 7° C. for about 2 hours. The resultant solids were isolated by filtration and washed with a chilled methanol and methyl tert-butyl ether mixture, followed by a chilled methyl tert-butyl ether rinse. The solids were then re-suspended in a mixture of methyl tert-butyl ether and purified water, heated to reflux with stirring for about 6 hours, and the solids were isolated by filtration, washed with methyl tert-butyl ether, and dried under vacuum for a minimum of 12 hours. The dried solids were then sieved using a screening mill to break up large lumps to afford desired product (HCl salt of Compound I).

Example 2: Polymorphic Form C

Four crystalline forms were identified for the HCl salt of Compound I: Form A (unsolvated), Form B (hydrated mixture), Form C (unsolvated), and Form D (methanol solvate). Of these forms, Form C was most frequently observed and was the most physically stable form. Form C is a substantially crystalline form.

Compound I Form C was prepared by recrystallizing Compound I Form A from a solvent selected from acetone, 1,4-dioxane, ethanol, methanol, and a mixture of isopropanol and water. In another embodiment, Compound I Form C is prepared by recrystallizing Compound I Form A from ethanol. Compound I Form A is prepared by recrystallizing the HCl salt of Compound I from a mixture of methanol and water.

Compound I Form C is characterized by an X-ray powder diffractogram comprising peaks) (±0.2°) at 7.3, 23.3 and 28.2°2θ, as determined on a diffractometer using Cu-Kα radiation. The diffractogram comprises additional peaks (±0.2°) at 16.6 and 20.9°2θ. Form C is also characterized by its full X-ray powder diffractogram as substantially shown in FIG. 1. Major peaks in the XRPD pattern are shown in Table 1 below. In one embodiment, this disclosure provides Compound I Form C comprising two or more peaks (±0.2°) listed in the Table 1 below as determined on a diffractometer using Cu-Kα radiation.

XRPD data was collected using PANalytical X'Pert Pro Diffractometer. The specimen was analyzed using Cu radiation produced using an Optix long fine-focus source. An elliptically graded multilayer mirror was used to focus the Cu Kα X-rays of the source through the specimen and onto the detector. The specimen was sandwiched between 3-micron thick films, analyzed in transmission geometry, and rotated to optimize orientation statistics. A beam-stop was used to minimize the background generated by air scattering. Soller slits were used for the incident and diffracted beams to minimize axial divergence. Diffraction patterns were collected using a scanning position-sensitive detector (X'Celerator) located 240 mm from the specimen. Prior to the analysis a silicon specimen (NIST SRM 640c) was analyzed to verify the position of the silicon 111 peak.

In some embodiments, Form C is also characterized by its differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curve comprising an endotherm comprising signal maximum at about 234° C. with an onset temperature of about 227° C. In another embodiment, the DSC curve is substantially as shown in FIG. 2.

In some embodiments, Form C is also characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) comprising a thermogram substantially as shown in FIG. 3.

In some embodiments, Form C is also characterized by a dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) curve substantially as shown in FIG. 4.

Crystalline forms of the HCl salt of Compound I other than Form C (Forms A, B and D) are also contemplated for the compositions and formulations of this disclosure. Such forms are described in WO 2016/179415, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

Example 3: Capsule Formulations AA-AF

Several capsule formulations were made as shown in (Table 2). Initially, two 100 mg capsule formulations (Formulation AA and AB) were developed which differed only in the colour of the capsule shell. Subsequently, a preliminary 200 mg formulation (Formulation AC) was developed to provide higher dosage strengths. The initial formulations for both the 100 mg (Formulations AA and AB) and 200 mg (Formulation AC) were based on the same blend composition.

Two simpler 200 mg capsule formulations, Formulation AD, hard gelatine capsule shel,l and Formulation AE, hypromellose capsule shell, were then produced for clinical trial use. These formulations were based on the same primary blend composition (Compound I HCl and poloxamer 407) as in the 100 mg formulations (Formulations AA and AB) but included no additional excipients.

An optimized 200 mg capsule formulation (Formulation AF) was developed. No microcrystalline cellulose is included in the blend in contrast to the AA and AB Formulations. Formulation AF has a surprisingly better dissolution profile than Formulation AE. The development of this AF Formulation was also necessary in order to improve the manufacturability of the 200 mg strength capsule.

Dissolution Profile Examples for Formulations AA-AF

The dissolution tests were conducted under the conditions shown in Table 9.

The Dissolution Profiles of Formulations AA-AF below demonstrate that Formulation AF made by Method 1 has an unexpectedly better dissolution profile than the Formulations AA, AB, AC, AD, or AE, and that Formulation AF made by Method 2 has a better dissolution profile than Formulation AF made by Method 1.

Example 7: Dissolution Profile Comparison of Formulation AB (100 mg Dosage Strength) and Formulation AD (200 mg Dosage Strength)

A comparison of in vitro dissolution profiles for five batches of AB Formulation (100 mg) and 3 batches of AD formulation (200 mg) demonstrated that these two formulations had comparable dissolution characteristics (>80% dissolved in 20 minutes). These dissolution profiles are shown in FIG. 5.

Example 8: Dissolution Profile Comparison of Formulations AD and AE

A dissolution evaluation comparing Compound I Form C in a hard gelatin capsule (Formulation AD) with Compound I Form C in an HPMC capsule (Formulation AE) was conducted. The compositions for formulations AD and AE were hand filled into the hard gelatin and HPMC capsules. The dissolution parameters are summarized in Table 9. For this dissolution evaluation, standard round bottom dissolution vessels were used. The results are summarized in Table 10. The results indicate that the dissolution profiles of hard gelatin and HPMC capsules are similar. The initial delay (at 10 and 20 minutes) in the HPMC profile is as expected and consistent with the profile shift reported by the HPMC capsule manufacturer, Capsugel.

Example 9: Dissolution Profile of Formulation AF Made by Method 1 Compared to Dissolution Profiles of Formulations AA, AB, AC, AD and AE

The dissolution profile of Formulation AF manufactured by Method 1 was compared to the dissolution profile of Formulation AE. A comparison of the in vitro dissolution profile of two batches of the AE formulation and one batch of the AF formulation is provided in Table 11 and FIG. 6. The f₂ values, using the 10-30 minute data, comparing the Formulation AF to Formulation AE, were 42 and 34, respectively. Accordingly, Formulation AF has a surprisingly better dissolution profile than Formulation AE.

Formulations AA, AB, AC and AD have about the same dissolution profile as Formulation AE for reasons stated herein, and which are reiterated below:

-   -   1. Formulation AE has about the same dissolution profile as AD         (See Example 8 and Table 10).     -   2. Formulation AD has about the same dissolution profile as         Formulation AB (See Example 7 and FIG. 5).     -   3. Formulations AB, AA and AC have the same composition that are         in various hard gelatine capsules. The differences between these         three formulations is not in the composition but (1) the color         of the capsules between the AA Formulation (orange) and the AB         Formulation (blue); and (2) the amount of composition in the         Formulation AC (200 mg) and Formulations AA and AB (100 mg) (See         Example 3 and Table 2).

Example 10: Dissolution Profile of Formulation AF Made by Method 1 Compared to Dissolution Profiles of Formulation AF Made by Method 2

A lot-to-lot variation was observed in the dissolution profiles of Formulation AF manufactured by Method 1 as shown in Table 12 and FIG. 7.
